Build-A-Flower: Larkspur Release - Altenew

Hey everyone, I am excited to be a Guest for Altenew today. Each month they release a new Build-a-Flower design and today I am sharing a project with the latest release called - Build-a-Flower: Larkspur.

Here is a look at the 6x8 stamp set:

Here is my completed layout using the set - Sit back and Relax

To create this page I used the 3x4" cards in the Our Family Scrapbook Kit. I am not a Project Life-r so using the cards on a layout seemed like the perfect solution to getting them used. I guess I really took a different approach to the usual with this kit as ideally these stamps are 'build a flower' and are meant to be layered. However, today I will be showing you an alternate way to use them.

To do this I took the outline of the flower stamp from the set and stamped that onto the concentrated colour area on 5 of the cards. I wanted a variety of colours so I made sure to choose ones that I thought would look effective in the floral shape. I then did the same with the leaves outline, but used the green toned 3x4" cards to stamp onto. These next two photos give you a good look at the finished floral pieces:

On this layout I am documenting a recent getaway I had to a crafting retreat. I do not 'get away' very often, certainly not without children so it was lovely to spend time with amazing people getting, getting cooked for and crafting the weekend away. It was the most beautiful tropical destination and I felt like this floral design complimented the photo well.

The sentiments in the stamp set were also perfect for the moment that I was documenting. I chose to document this photo purely because I thought the florals would look nice with it, so it was a lovely surprise when I realised that the sentiments were a great match too!

I enjoyed seeing your different idea on how to use the stamp set. It’s always nice to have choices when using them. Very pretty color combos and it’s always great when the card and the sentiment come together with such meaning!

I love seeing alternate ways of using these stamps. Yes, they are billed as Build-a-Flower, but if that's the only way we can use them, then they're not worth it, you know? I love that this layout commemorates your crafty retreat. Thanks for sharing with us!
